Not very satisfying ending(s) and weird editing

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2020)

So I rented this movie on Google Play: Movies and TV and wasn't really expecting to enjoy this movie as much as I did, but I spent as long writing this review as I did watching the movie. So I'm going to start off by taking about what I liked and then talk about what I didn't really like.
So the first thing I liked is that it was kind of funny, yet I don't think it was intended to. It seemed like it was supposed to be a serious movie but I was laughing more than I was actually being scared. The moments that made me laugh were the shopping scene, the rat scene, when the military zombie is revealed and the character Private Jones (almost every scene he is in.) Anway I started off with this because comedy is subjective, and it was one of the first things that I could think of to compliment it about.
Speaking of being scared, the truth is that I wasn't, it was startling at times, like when there was screeching and breaking windows (I can't really blame anyone for that because the virus is called "rage" after all.) and when the zombie broke through the window and when the little boy zombie ran out and jumped on Jim. There were some disturbing moments but the editing doesn't help convey any of that.
Now as far as the story it goes, its kind of a thing but I couldn't tell you if I had the right idea of what it was exactly or not. But one thing I can say is that it has two examples that I can think of that can explain how to have an emotional death scene and how not to. So we'll start of with the death that I didn't think was very emotional. It was the first kill of the movie, which was Mark, he explains how his family had the idea of escaping by plane but he lost his family in the crowd and had to climb over other people and he saw his infected father. In the next scene he is somehow bitten, and as soon as the other two notice the woman chops his arm off and then pretty much butcher the poor guy offscreen. (Once again the horrible editing gets in the way so I couldn't tell if that's what happens or not.) The last thing I'll say about his death is that it is quick because it only takes 20 seconds for the virus to fully spread throughout the body. The death I though was emotional was Frank because we actually see his daughter and we aren't told how or if his wife died, I just assume she did. His death is sad because you actually see some good moments that I don't want to spoil and whats not shown to you isn't told to you. So the best words to describe this are to "show not tell". Anyway Frank dies by getting a drop of blood in his eye and instead of begging to not be killed he just tries to push his daughter back so that she doesn't get infected, and when she is finally a good distance away from him, one of the others in the group kills him.
Now the ending(s) are both pretty bad. The first one show the three main characters running out of a house to try and be rescued by a jet they hear, but it ignores them, as it has before, which is told to us by one of the main characters. This ending also starts of with a transition card with the text "28 days later..." which kind of ruined the whole movie for me, because i thought when the guy woke up it was 28 days into the apocalypse but I guess not. The second ending (which is shown after the credits as an alternative ending) is the worse out of the two in my opinion because one of the main characters dies but I don't feel any emotion about there death at all even though they were one of the main three characters, so I'm glad they changed the ending because as much as I don't like the first ending, it is the better out of the two. My final thoughts on the endings are that people need to understand that not every ending is going to be happy, it's okay to have a sad ending to a movie. Sad does not equal bad, but in this case it does.
Overall the movie has many faults, but it has a better story than most of the zombie movies I've watched recently, so I'll give this movie a solid 7/10. Sorry that this review was so long and thanks for reading!
